How to coop edit online and portfowared

Whats port forwarding?

Port forwarding allows remote computers, for example, computers on the Internet, to connect to a specific computer or service within a private local area network (LAN).

In a typical residential network Internet access is obtained through a DSL or cable modem connected to a router or network address translator (NAT). Hosts on the private network are connected to an Ethernet switch or communicate via a wireless LAN. The NAT device's external interface is configured with a public IP address. The computers behind the router, on the other hand, are invisible to hosts on the Internet as they each communicate only with a private IP address.

Lets Start.
Forwarding is based on linksys router but you can still do the same on all other routers.
Questions below please post

First open CMD



Now type
ipconfig



Now at the top you will see this

Code: Select all

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : ***::****:d68d:60be:bb8d%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.*.***
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.***.*
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.*.*

Find this of course there will not be any *'s
now
copy the

DON'T X OUT OF THE CMD YET

Default Gateway192.168.1.1
code
mine is
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
so ill go ahead and put 192.168.1.1 into the url bar



Now this should pop up



Username for me is
User: Admin
Password: Admin

It could be the same for you
Just try combinations
User: Admin
Password: Leave blank

ETC ETC
If you know your parents put a user and password on router go ask it from them.

Now.. Once you are in Find applications and gaming



After that you will see some empty boxes

Something like
Application........Start......End......Protocol....IP ADRESS... ENABLE

For the application box put
Sandbox
For the Start put
28785
For end put
28786
For Protocol put
UDP

For Ip address
Now open the CMD again
You see
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
Put the 192.168.1.100 code into the box
if the box already has 192.168.1. in there just put the last 3 digets in there
DONT PUT MINE UNLESS ITS THE SAME

For the ENABLE = check mark

------------------------------------
